Eminent Domain
 

Robotic arms of postwar
optimism are decoded
blatant actions of a snob.

Enabled machines emerge,
reproducing themselves over and over.
Thoughtful politicians tout

Marvels of mechanized mayhem.
Utopian fathers ask Zulu
representative to reconsider
rebellion against empire.

Ascendency of America,
yielding to nothing.
